so ill have to just save my money to buy a windows machine another question what is the highes spec processor i could put in this old g4?

The stock 1.25ghz cpu in the Powermac G4 you have is just about the fastest cpu that came in stock Powermac G4's. There was also a 1.42ghz cpu model...but it may not be worth it financially. There were also cpu upgrade cards sold by 3rd party vendors...and these will still cost you $150-$200+. You would be much better off buying a Powermac G5 than spending money on an old Powermac G4.
